# Fried Chicken Burger Buns The New EggZinger Double Down Has Arrived at KFC South Korea By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2023-06-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggzinger-double-down References: [brandeating](https://www.brandeating.com/2023/06/kfc-south-korea-serves-up-new-double-down-with-fried-egg.html)  KFC South Korea is taking a classic breakfast sandwich and turning it its on its head with its new EggZinger Double Down sandwich. Featuring both the chicken and the egg, the new EggZinger Double Down is definitely not vegetarian-friendly. The new sandwich starts with two extra crispy, Zinger fried chicken thigh filets, which are used in place of sandwich buns. In between the two chicken fillets, you'll find a fried sunny-side-up egg, bacon, cheese, and a spicy sauce. The new sandwich is essentially just a variation of the Zinger Double Down Max, which is a regular menu item at KFC's South Korean restaurants. The new EggZinger Double Down is available now a la carte, or as a combo with Cajun fries and a fountain drink.
